Xu Xiaoda is not a fool, he knows that he met a ghost last night, a group of hungry ghosts.

"There are not many people on this mountain road, I carried two buckets of porridge and walked all the way without meeting many people, there was still a bucket and a half of porridge left, at that time I thought, I am destined to return in vain today, pick up the porridge out and carry the porridge back. ”

"But on the way back, I saw a stone carving with many ancient characters on it, which was majestic, and I was amazed, so I couldn't help but stop and admire it for a while. ”

"How do I know that my mind is immersed in the stone carvings, and before I know it, the black flying rabbit is gone, and the sun actually sets the mountain. ”

At this time, I was reluctant to carry the porridge, but when I turned my head, I saw some people in tattered clothes surrounding and looking at the porridge bucket. ”

"I have the same yin and yang eyes as my eldest brother, although I can't tell that they are ghosts at a glance, but when I get close to them, I can feel an unusual coldness, and I can also see that they are not normal people. ”

"How can a stupid person survive in such a barren mountain and in such a cold season? ”

Xu Xiaoda sighed lightly when he said this: "These starving ghosts are very pitiful, they didn't attack me, they just salivated and looked at the cold porridge in the bucket." So I said to them, "Anyway, I have no one to ask for these porridges, and if you don't dislike the cold porridge, I am willing to give it to you to drink." ”

"The hungry ghosts lined up, each person and bowl to scoop porridge and drink, without fighting, grabbing, noisy or noisy, which was more comfortable than giving porridge to the hungry during the day. ”

"There was a hungry ghost who could speak, and said to me, 'This porridge is really too cold, can you use it?' ”

"I said that there is no dry wood and no iron pot, how can I heat porridge for you? The hungry ghost whistled, and the ghosts disappeared without a trace, but soon they reappeared, some brought dry wood, some brought charcoal, and some brought an iron pot. ”

"I gave them porridge and gave it to the ghosts to drink, and when the ghosts left after dawn and I was about to leave, a beautiful woman came and asked me with a smile if I wanted to read the classics. ”

Hearing this, Xu Da scolded: "Are you stupid? What kind of beauty? It must be a demon and a monster!"

Xu Xiaoda said: "But she is knowledgeable, she has read through the books of sages, and she is also proficient in music and rhythm, and I have a very happy conversation with her, and I have a very happy conversation." ”

Recalling last night, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Like sugar and honey.

When Xu Da saw it, he felt sour in his mouth.

Damn, it's hawthorn.

He couldn't help but ask, "That girl, is she beautiful, how big are her breasts, and how long are your legs?"

Wang Qilin gave him a punch and said sharply, "Is it time to ask this?"

Xu Da sneered: "Curiosity, pure curiosity." ”

Xu Xiao laughed and said: "Big brother, you are always so frivolous, you can't hide it, the beauty is very beautiful, but what does that have to do with me? What I appreciate is that she is kind and understanding." ”

"I also appreciate this, I appreciate it. Xu Da said embarrassedly.

Wang Qilin said: "Then you talked all night, what did you do during the day today?"

"No, I'll give soup to the hungry all night, and I'll be reading and enjoying the good with the beautiful lady during the day. Xu Xiaoda said generously, "And we have also made an appointment to continue and continue to study the sage books during the day tomorrow." ”

Wang Qilin looked at Xu Da and asked, "What do you think about this?"

Xu Da said worriedly: "My second brother is too good, this is a female ghost, it should be a banshee, he was confused by a banshee." ”

Xu Xiaoda said angrily: "Big brother, am I not confused and I don't know? The beauty may not be human, but what does that have to do with it? When I was young, I used to recite poems to flowers and plants, and I used to read with mice and toads in the field, and the holy master said that there is no class ...... teaching."

"Don't talk about it," Xu Da interrupted him impatiently, "You tell the truth, you have a crush on someone, right?"

Xu Xiaoda smiled lightly and said, "Take the second flower bush lazy review, half of the cultivation of the path and half of the king." ”

Although Wang Qilin couldn't understand this poem, he understood Xu Xiaoda's intentions.

Xu was greatly embarrassed, and he looked at Wang Qilin with a look of help.

Wang Qilin pondered for a moment and explained to him: "The meaning of this poem should be that when I walked through the flowers, although there were many beautiful flowers, I didn't bother to look back at them, and half of the reason why this happened was because I ...... in my heart."

"Because of a fart!" Xu Da was anxious, "Seventh Master, I'm Xiucai, Xiucai! I don't know what this poem means? I'm asking you what to do!"

Wang Qilin said: "That, in this way, there is a great god who once said that there is no right to speak without investigation. Tonight, let's investigate the female monster that the second child met and see how she is, that, right? ”

Xu Xiaoda said happily: "Okay, then you come with me, but I don't guarantee that she is willing to come out to see you." ”

When he said this, his eyes looked at Xu Da vigorously, and the implication was that the beautiful woman may not be willing to come out to see you.

Xu gritted his teeth.

They walked along the mountain road, and Wang Qilin suddenly noticed that Eight Meow was walking very slowly.

He looked back and saw that the eight meows were standing up and walking on their two hind legs, holding a stone in their front paws.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Qilin wondered.

Eight Meow staggered like a toddler, and when it saw Wang Qilin stop and ask himself, he staggered up and held the stone with his front paws to show him.

Wang Qilin recognized it, this was the stone that Xu Xiaoda had wrapped in oil paper before, and it was thrown away by Xu Da just now.

So he asked suspiciously, "Is this stone a treasure?"

Eight Meow nodded hurriedly, and when it saw Xu Da turn around to look at him, he threw the stone away, squatted on the ground and licked his claws as if he didn't care.

Wang Qilin picked up the stone and looked at it in his hand.

And then it's an ordinary rock, at best very smooth, like a pebble.

Xu Da also recognized the identity of the stone, he patted his forehead and said: "Second brother, your beautiful woman doesn't treat you really at all, you see, she fooled you with a stone." ”

"You said earlier that this is a delicacy, did she use a spell to turn stones into dishes for you to eat? Damn, it's bad now, you should have stones in your stomach now!"

He and Wang Qilin didn't know what to do, so they released the crow to find the old Taoist priest to come and help.

Wang Qilin took the stone and looked at it over and over again, and said, "Master Xu, I think it is possible that the second child was not deceived, this may not be an ordinary stone." ”

Xu Xiaoda said confusedly: "Yes, how can this be a stone? It should be something as soft as a wax pill, with the same taste as japonica rice, and I ate this for my three meals today." ”

Wang Qilin said: "I'll put it away first, let's continue to move forward, wait for the Taoist master to come, let him see, he is well-informed." ”

This time, the detection of Fengjiaying's treacherous case relied on Xie Toad, Xie Toad recognized the scorpion array at a glance, which made him throw a killer ball, changed Wang Qilin and Xu Da's impression of him, and treated him as a hundred Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes.

After walking along the mountain road for two incense sticks, Xu Xiaoda walked towards a forest.

Wang Qilin stopped him and asked, "Why don't you walk?"

Xu Xiaoda laughed and said: "The peach and plum are self-explanatory. ”

Wang Qilin asked Xu Dadao: "Is this child evil?" Xu Ye, you know, my boy here has enough urinary tubes. ”

Xu Da said helplessly: "This is a peach forest, uncle, this stupid younger brother! Alas, he has committed the common disease of young scholars, this disease is called stupid disease, let's stop talking about it, let's follow him." ”

They walked into the peach grove, and although there was no road, the terrain was not too rugged, and they easily passed through the forest, and then walked up a mountain road again.

There were big trees growing around the mountain road, and they walked along the mountain road again, this time they walked far, hour after hour, Wang Qilin was stunned.

I don't know where Xu Xiaoda found such a road, this road is definitely not a normal mountain road, so isn't it normal to not meet hungry people on such a road?

Xu Da came to a collapse, but Xu Xiaoda walked with a wooden barrel, and the mountain road was like walking on the ground for him.

Seeing this, Wang Qilin said to Xu Da with disdain: "What will become of your body and bones in the future?

Xu Xiaoda said: "Seventh Master, don't worry, we are about to get to the place." ”

It was time for another stick of incense, and Xu Xiaoda stopped and pointed around.

The wall stands thousands of miles.

It is surrounded by majestic mountains and rocks and trees, the moonlight is sprinkled all over, and many mountain rocks are roaming according to rare dragons and snakes.

Wang Qilin stared at it, and it was full of Dou Da words.

It's a pity that he doesn't recognize any of them.

This time, I don't know any of the big words.

Xu Xiaoda said: "This is not Qi Wen, it is the result of the seventy-two sages under the Holy Master, because Mi Buqi is known as a gentleman and a virtuous person, so this is also called Jun Zi, some words that few people know, I also learned some by chance." ”

After the introduction, he pointed to a stone nest on the side of the road: "I was there last night to entertain the starving ghosts. ”

Wang Qilin walked over and took a look.

There were charcoal ashes and an iron pot that had not been blown away by the night wind.

"Then where did you go with the female monsters, you and me?" asked Xu Da.

Xu Xiaoda said unhappily: "Big brother, what do you mean by you and me? We are just studying and learning together." ”

Xu Da shook his head and sighed: "Brother, believe the words of the eldest brother, according to the experience of the eldest brother, men and women will do many things together, but they will not do learning together." ”

Wang Qilin waited for a while, but nothing appeared around him, and he didn't find anything.

Then he said, "Er, where are the hungry ghosts? Why didn't any of them appear?"

Xu Xiaoda said confusedly: "Seventh Master, I don't know, anyway, when I turned around at night last year, I found that they appeared on the side of the road." Besides, aren't we here to see the beautiful woman? Why are you asking the hungry ghost again?"

Wang Qilin said lightly: "The ferocity of hungry ghosts can be ranked among the hundred ghosts, and it is a bit strange that you met a group of ghosts last night, but you were not divided and eaten." ”

Xu Xiaoda said: "They didn't attack me, they just came to me to ask for porridge, I think maybe they are also reasonable?"

"The ghost is reasoning with you!" Xu Da said angrily.

Wang Qilin glanced around, but found no trace of the appearance of the hungry ghost, so he pondered for a moment and said, "Is it because there is no porridge?" Master Xu, serve the porridge!"

Xu Da took out a small bag from the mustard seed pendant in Sumeru, which contained the best new rice of the year.

Firewood burns the fire, the iron pot melts the snow water, and after sprinkling the rice, the fragrance of rice porridge spreads after a short time.

The night breeze blows sharply, and the taste of rice porridge is carried in all directions.

Nine-six turned his head to look in the direction they had come from, and a dark shadow flew like a big bird.

Wang Qilin looked fixedly.

Xie Toad flew with the Crow.

He asked suspiciously, "What are you doing in this place in the middle of the night?"

Wang Qilin told Xu Xiaoda what had happened, Xie Toad nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Give me that stone." ”

The smooth stone fell into his hand, and he took it in his hand and looked at the moonlight, sniffed it, and finally picked up a stone and knocked it.

'Bang bang bang!'

It is not the sound of stones striking, but the sound of stones hitting copper, iron, metal.

Xie Toad sighed lightly: "Don't worry, Xiao Er has an adventure, you eat this kind of thing for three meals today?"

Xu Xiaoda said: "It's not a stone, it's a ......"

"It's chalcedony. Xie Toad said enviously.

Wang Qilin subconsciously asked, "Chalcedony, the bone marrow of the stone?"

Xie Toad said: "It's the essence of this mountain, don't you know about Wang Lie's chalcedony?"

"Who?"

"Wang Lie, do you know Ji Kang? The eldest of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, Ji Kang is scattered in Guangling. ”

This person Wang Qilin knew, and nodded hurriedly.

Xie Toad said: "Wang Lie is a good friend of Ji Kang, recorded in the "Shangqing Taixuan Collection", it is said that Wang Lie is alone in the Taihang Mountain, and suddenly heard a landslide, Yin Yin is like thunder. Seeing that the green mud flows out like marrow, and the mud is taken to test the pill, it must be turned into a stone, such as the form of hot wax, and it is solidified with your hands. The gas is like japonica rice, and so is the chewing. The number of Liehe pills is as big as a peach, and it is used to return a little, but it is with Ji Kang and said: "I have a foreign body." Ji Kang was very happy, and instead of seeing it, it had become a bluestone, and it was like a bronze sound. ”

Wang Qilin was once again dizzy by the impact of the crepe's words.

He vaguely saw a scene on the earth in his dream, when the guy he possessed took the college entrance examination to do the English listening test, and the guy's expression was similar to his current expression.

But Xu Xiaoda listened to it easily, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes, what I eat is like green mud and tastes like japonica rice." ”

Xie Toad said: "That's right, this is the chalcedony, the chalcedony that our Taoists regard as a treasure!"

He said to Wang Qilin and Xu Da: "You two nerds, didn't you find that Xu Xiaoda stayed in the mountains for a day and a night, but he was full of energy and his face was full of light?"

How could Wang Qilin not notice this?

To tell the truth, he thought that Xu Xiaoda wanted to see the girl, so he was so top.

This is what the young lads were like before they went on a date.

Death to those who stand in my way!

Xu Da muttered: "This is chalcedony, it turns out that this is chalcedony, no wonder the second child walks on the mountain road tonight, no wonder he has so much physical strength." ”

Wang Qilin kindly reminded: "It's not that he has a lot of physical strength, Master Xu, you recognize the reality, it's just that you are too empty." By the way, can I call him Master Xuye in the future?"

It's about innocence and reputation, Xu Da didn't care about the chalcedony anymore, he shouted: "You dare to call me that, uncle is fighting with you!"

"Understood, Master Xu. ”

Jiuliu turned his head violently and rushed to the side, Wang Qilin reacted quickly, he turned his head with it, and then saw a lot of ghosts appearing next to the trees on the side of the road.

The Starving Ghost appears.

Wang Qilin was stunned, and he said, "What's the matter? Where did these starving ghosts come from? Why did they appear silently?"

The starving ghosts ignored them, looked around for a while after appearing, and then walked towards Xu Xiaoda.

A starving ghost dressed in a woven shirt of dead grass asked Xu Xiaoda, "Are you here again?"

Xu Xiaoda asked, "Yes, do you want to drink porridge?"

The starving ghost laughed, "Thank you very much. ”

A few hungry ghosts came lightly, and some hungry ghosts appeared, so that Wang Qilin understood why he hadn't seen the way they appeared before: they came out of the tree and stood directly by the tree.

Xie Toad sighed: "It turned out to be a hungry ghost living in the tree!"

Wang Qilin asked, "Is there anything special about this?"

Xie Toad thought for a while and said: "There are clouds in the "Fa-rectification Sutra: Hungry Ghost Products", and the thirty-four are Vilicha, and hungry ghosts live in the trees. According to Buddhism, there are thirty-six hungry ghosts in the Hungry Ghost Dao, do you want the old Taoist priest to explain them to you one by one?"

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, open your eyes. ”

Xie Toad looked at the many hungry ghosts around Xu Xiaoda and said: "The old Taoist priest will give you a summary first, one is a hungry ghost with a wok, two are Su Zhimu, a hungry ghost with a needle, and the third is a big ghost...... Shhh

When he said the third one, his tone changed abruptly, and Wang Qilin asked, "Is this yellow hungry ghost very extraordinary? Is it the most powerful of the thirty-six hungry ghosts?"

Xie Toad muttered, "No, Seventh Master, we are lucky to have met a yellow hungry ghost here!"

Wang Qilin followed his eyes and saw that just behind Xu Xiaoda, there was a big ghost drilling out of the crack in the stone!

It was the most horrible of things, its hair was messy, its body was rotten, and rotting flesh was falling from the cracks in the stones.

Every time it dropped the carrion, it would pick it up and stuff it into its mouth and eat it, and it would be very hard to drill and eat at the same time.

Eight Meow: "Gross!"

But the strange thing is that the Yellow Hungry Ghost was very close to Xu Xiaoda, but he didn't reach out to attack him, but just opened his teeth and claws at him behind him!

Hawksbill Harrier, violent and wanton!

It can be seen from the appearance that this ghost is not easy to deal with, Wang Qilin asked cautiously: "Dao Ye, what's wrong with this ghost?"

Xie Toad said in a low voice: "Be quiet, this is the Yellow Hungry Ghost, who escaped from the Hell Dao, and was born in the Hungry Ghost Dao for five hundred generations in succession!"

The yellow hungry ghost appeared silently, and only Xie Toad discovered it, and the other hungry ghosts did not look at the cracks in the stones it drilled out.

Even if it's close at hand.

This ghost seems to be stuck in a crack in the stone, and it has not been able to get out after drilling for a long time, and its face is full of hideousness.

Wang Qilin asked, "Can it fight?"

Xie Toad smiled bitterly: "It can escape from the Hell Path, do you think it can fight?"

Wang Qilin changed the question: "Can it beat you?"

Xie Toad's smile was even more bitter: "Seventh Master, you really look up to the old Taoist." ”

Wang Qilin understood: "Oh, it can't beat you!"

Xie Toad was stunned.

They discussed here for a while, but the Yellow Hungry Ghost did not come out for a long time, and it was obviously trying very hard to crawl out, but it always returned in vain.

Sometimes it crawls out more, but inadvertently it comes back to where it came, sometimes it gradually retracts into the cracks in the stone, and then it struggles to climb out again.

Wang Qilin stared at it for a while, and gradually looked out of the doorway.

It's like there's something down there holding it back!

Xie Toad said in a deep voice: "Yes, the local mountain god Niangniang is blocking this yellow hungry ghost from coming out!"

"What will happen if it comes out?"

"It eats all the creatures it meets, including the hungry ghosts living in the trees that are also hungry ghosts!"

Wang Qilin said: "Then this is a scourge, Dao Ye, let's join forces to suppress it?"

Xie Toad shook his head and said, "The Yellow Hungry Ghost can escape from the Hell Dao and be reincarnated in the Hungry Ghost Dao for five hundred years, how can it be a good match? ”

Wang Qilin walked forward, and suddenly stood still: "No, Dao Ye, you said that the Yellow Hungry Ghost will eat whatever creature he catches, you see that this Yellow Hungry Ghost can obviously reach out and touch Xu Lao Er, why didn't he eat him?"

"Isn't Xu Lao Er a living being?!"

"It's broken!"
